Faulty memory card maybe.

Format your memory card and check if you still have problems with your apps.

In which way are they damaged?

apps stored in memory card as .apk, as the phone restarted it changed to .ini file.

That's an interesting issue!
Try this:
1. Move all the apps back to your internal memory.
2. Delete off the .android_secure folder.
3. Copy your important stuff back to the computer.
4. Format the memory card from your phone (not from your PC).
5. Reboot the phone.
6. Copy back all the stuff and move the apps back to memory card.
See whether it helps.

It looks like there is a serious problem with your phone handling the SD Card. I can't suspect the phone, but only your SD Card.
Try with a different SD Card. By the way, is this card came with the phone? If yes, try to get a replacement in the service center.
And, you are welcome to press the "Thanks" button anytime you like .

yeah i will try that.thanks mate.

Damn it my sd or my phone.
The same problem is back again. I wonder is it my phone or sd. Using new sd, and reflash with fresh rooted stock room.
Now it keep on damaging file after file.
Just like the 1st time i got my arc.
Seems like no one elses experiencing the same problem.

[Q] SD card proper replacement process

Just got a new class 10, 32gb sd card. What I would like to know is if there is a recommended 'process' to swap out my existing sd card?
When I copied the contents of my old sd card to my pc (win7x64) using standard copy/paste, I got an error on a few folders that the path was too long to paste. I know windows has limitations, so I'm going to mount both sd cards and just copy from the old to the new directly using robocopy.
Will there be any other issues due to media serial number or anything like that for apps that were installed to the sd, or am I over analyizing this?

The paths should not have changed from one card to the other. Since your source did not gawk at the long path the destination should not also...unless u grabbed the parent or pasted into a child or something. That said I know you nand and use tb. I would grab the current backups, images, whatever else u want and eikther nand or tb what daata was sd stored that you want back. Just my opinion.
The other thing is I would format the card in the phone first.

Yea, there were quite a few 'res' folders deep inside a google.books subdirectory that exceeded windows ability of copying. Don't use so I'm just going to clear data on the books app. Will hang on to old sd card before formatting and reusing somewhere else.
I will document anything else I find...

As long as the card is formatted, can't you just copy the contents of the sd card from your PC back to the card (assuming you copied your SD card to the PC)?
The issue is that windows has a limitation of 256 characters to use when copying files, which includes the full path from the root of the drive. Certain things work while others will not. Full copy in explorer is one of those things that does not.
So, copying my sd TO MY PC fails at a certain point. What did get copied will copy fine going TO THE SD CARD as there will not be a path/filename length issue at this point.
I tried the below (e is old sd, f is new) but still did not pick up the deep files. Didn't try robocopy.
xcopy e:\*.* f:\ /e /c /h /r
In my case, I did not care about anything in this directory, but others may. Just a heads up...

Sd card not detected

Hi everyone
I have a problem with my Sd card not properly being seen by any Rom at the moment. I noticed it when I flashed the new virtuous sense 4 Rom, as I couldn't view any of my pictures in the gallery and also no music can be found in any music app.
I decided to return to my backed up Rom which was runny suprise and the same problem occurred even though I had no issues before back up. I also tried a couple of others too.
I always full wipe between roms and just wondered why this has happened, have I pressed something in recovery or is my Sd card faulty? I can view my old photos by using my file explorer and selecting view with gallery and also listen to music this way also by using the native music player.
Any advice would be handy before I buy a new Sd card and start all over again.
In settings/storage it still tells me how much space I have on the Sd card so I'm not sure what's happend.
Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

I posted a solution for this in another thread, it seems that this is a repeated question.
For those of you that encounter problems of having trouble finding your gallery and music, but yet those files are still in you SD card
Follow instructions below:
1. Plug your phone to your PC
2. Use the search function on your PC and search your SD card for ".nomedia"
3. Delete all
4. Reboot your phone
TADA!!!
Hi
Thanks for the info but didn't help. I searched and deleted all .nomedia files then reboot but no luck

Heck, I don't know. Did you make a backup of your whole sd card, format it, then transfer everything back?
Are there any .nomedia files in the sd card?

all files not shown in SD card on PC?

Hi. I have some files that are not being shown in the external SD card when I view on the PC. I checked the files through root explorer and its there, its just not showing up on my PC? Please help. Thank you.

I would say that this is problem with pc. What system are you using? Do you have "show hidden files" option on (just google it for your system if you don't know how to turn it on)? Is there "." at the begining of the file like ".xxxx.yyy"?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Hmm. It seems that the only files that can be viewed on the external SD card on PC is the files I put on their from the PC. The files I downloaded on my phone are not being shown. Hidden files are shown on windows and it still cannot see them. The files are just zips apks and images, I don't understand why they are not showing up. tried on another computer, same result. Hmm.

Maybe the SD card isn't propely mounted? Did you tried removing it and connecting to a PC? If it recognizes and the file is there, you could try Recuva for Windows,,,
